On 28 acres in San Francisco’s Mission Rock neighborhood, the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer have started construction on Parcel F. As the final tower in the first phase of the waterfront development, it will include 254 rental apartments, ground-level shops and cafes, and a co-working space.
“Parcel F is destined to become a central social hub and community gathering place for Mission Rock. In addition to supplying vibrant new homes—97 of which are affordable for San Francisco’s working families—Parcel F will animate Mission Rock with a series of outdoor terraces and lively retail spilling out onto the plaza and streets surrounding the building,” says Julian Pancoast, vice president of real estate development for the San Francisco Giants.

Across from Oracle Park, Parcel F is expected to open in 2024. The 315,000-square-foot tower was designed by Studio Gang, an award-winning global architecture and urban design practice. The sculptural building is shaped to allow maximum daylight and minimal wind. The floor plates are carved in at the corners, alternating sides every three floors, to create spacious terraces up the tower. The top level will house a sky garden for residents to enjoy plants and city views.
“Parcel F is designed to work with its adjacent buildings to set up a welcoming and diverse neighborhood from day one—a place where people want to be and where they can comfortably get to know each other and spend time together. The tower’s base incorporates a range of storefronts and micro-activations at street level that give the building a human scale,” says Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang founder. “We’ve also carved into the base to create an inviting outdoor space with sunny planted terraces and raked seating, like a mesa, where residents can socialize and relax, taking in views of the activity in the main public square below.”
Mission Rock Partners recently completed The Canyon, a mixed-use 283-apartment tower designed by MVRDV. When complete, Mission Rock will include approximately 1,200 rental apartments—40% of which will be affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
